Release Summary 14.12.0

We are excited to announce general availability of v14.12.0 with the following changes:

Granular services and software data

We are now capturing deeper services and software data to assist in better application mappings and digital transformation efforts like cloud migration. The following is a quick summary of the enhanced discovery capabilities. For now, the new capabilities are Windows-only. We will be extending these capabilities to Linux in the near future. The new discovery capabilities include:

The location of the install folder for services and software.

The service to software relationship (based on the install folder). On the services pages, you will now see additional details for services such as the vendor, version #, install date and other data points previously seen only on the software pages.

The granular permissions for the install folder (top level) for each software component on each device.

The registry information for each software component on each device.

All the configuration files found in the install folder for each software component on each device.

Software that is related to a service but was not installed via a standard OS installer.

These options can be enabled for each Windows Auto-Discovery job in TOOLS>Auto-Discovery>Hypervisors/*nix/Windows. The resulting software details can be viewed for each software instance in the Software in Use screen and can be retrieved programmatically via a new DOQL view view_softwaredetails_v1.

Ignore subnets on *nix/Windows auto-discoveries

A new option to ignore subnets has been added to *nix/Windows Auto-Discovery jobs. When selected, discovery will no longer create subnets in Device42 as part of discovery. Just a reminder, Auto-Discovery jobs can be created in TOOLS>Auto-Discovery>Hypervisors/*nix/Windows
